I read "The Forgotten Girls" by Sara Blaedel. If you like crime mysteries this is a good one. She's referred to as Denmark's "Queen of Crime". Now that she hooked me I've got to wait for the sequel to come out in February!
Sara Blaedel, author of the #1 international bestseller The Forgotten Girls--which was roundly praised as "gripping" with "uncompromising realism" (Washington Post) and "tautly suspenseful" (BookPage)--returns with the thrilling next book in her series featuring police investigator Louise Rick.
THE KILLING FOREST
“Then an event happened that caused him to wonder at the great folly that seemed to govern his life, namely, his attempts to plan and control his future. Most of the events that changed his life had taken place without his consent and at the time had seemed of little consequence. Our destiny didn’t lie in the stars, he told himself, or even in our mettle. It lay in our ability to recognize a gift when it was placed in your hands.”
― James Lee Burke, House of the Rising Sun
Catch-22 is one of my all time faves. It's still relevant and always will be. Heller is a genius.![]()
Catch 22 is an amazing book! Everything from 'crab apple cheeks' to the catch itself- genius is right! Crazy genius!

The GoldFinch. I cannot say enough about this incredible book. Donna Tart is incredible with her multifaceted characters, the arch they are on, the beautifully intricate descriptions of everything from how it feels to be strung out to each curve of a piece of antique furniture. I adore this book. Highly, highly recommend.
Starting to re-dip into Jean M Auel
>Clan of the Cave Bear, all her novels
Jean Auel, way ahead of her time
I loved that book too. Characters were GREAT, and I agree with your assessment of the complexities of the issues. It was so "full" I think I ought to go at it one more time...

I read the first 4 of those and loved them - especially the second one. But the fifth or so started to have a soap opera quality that I didn't like, and I don't think I ever finished it. I may have a different perspective now tho. It always amazes me how something I loved a long time ago is just "meh" later, and something that I couldn't get into years ago, turns out to be very appealing later on.
I highly recommend ANY book by Gary Paulson. Love his early stuff especially, and his biographical stuff about running in the Iditerod. One of my all time fav authors...
